BITTER PEACE are the USBM answer to Norwegian masters THORNS / MYSTICUM. They've released one CD on cult underground US label Elegy Records. BITTER PEACE are now awaiting new album titled "Opus II" to be released on Moribund Records, due out April, 2013.

LITHOTOME album out now on Fall Of Nature Records (Oz). Black heralds of death / doom fantasia. Edited & mixed by Nathan Kite at Plastik Musik. Features members of CHAOS MOON/ESOTERICA/KRIEG/BITTER PEACE...

But that's not an advertising speech...advertisement speech will be on promo one sheet once completed album is done. Only thing that I'd consider part of the advertising is "USBM true answer to cult Norwegians MYSTICUM & THORNS" in some sort of way. The rest is just background & history.

This is just to build hype, and make people familiar with the name BITTER PEACE, that we have a new album in the works, and sample tracks to listen to.

"Here is a band which is one of my personal favorites. There are so many things I like about this release, it's hard to begin. First, they are from the United States, and although you could classify them as black metal, they are unique unlike other black metal bands of today. The music is superbly filled with feeling. With that special ferocity that so few bands can capture. The guitar work is also amongst the most interesting I've ever enjoyed in this genre. The vocalist is extremely vicious and diverse as well. Track two 'I Spite' is a dark monument of black metal. I can't describe to you how great this track is. From blazing fast and brutal to a slow, mesmerizing grind, where the vocalist chants very effectively with the rhythm. Extremely fucking cool stuff. Listening to it now I have to say it is one of the best black metal tracks I've heard in years. I don't say that lightly. The effects and mixing are also done very well, filling the tracks with a tapestry of rich sound. Track three is also a personal favorite, called 'Great Harlot of Abominations.'
